    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe you have a different experience from playing rather watching walkthroughs. Cause playing as those characters, in those heartbreaking moments, it does have an impact on your perception. Even though there’s certain characters you would rather not play as. But makes you not necessarily empathize with that character but the situation she in and the people around.I really do like playing this game I know people didn’t like the fact that you play as one specific character but it those help see other characters around her and Ellie perception .You see two side of the coin both which is neither good or bad. It a interesting concept. And it’s a game that requires you really to look further into the point of the ending to eventually understand. Some people like games with clear answers, ending, And it’s alright if you do but you might not think it had great ending in that point. Also they wouldn’t give the effort to develop a character if they didn’t had the intention of re-using her or Ellie for future projects.But I think it’s genius ending for a dlc or potentially new game after this game. Also i should mention the mechanic of this game. It’s was so cool and amazing you get to play the guitar, growl on the floor and simply cause it was easy to manage for a ps4 imagine in ps5.The art concept is exceptional, beautiful. There are very amazing views and at one part you get to experience fear from failing hahaha.

    (my opinion but with some spoilers Part 2)
    However i would put Abby story first then lead up to Joel death. Many seem to over look the ending but it actually very well written. Because it come back to seeing to parallel between characters. A revenge story that ends up losing themselves on the way. It shows that not everyone manage to feel relief and at peace once looking for revenge. It shows that their consequences on making the “wrong choice” henceforth Dina left. Plus on the first sneak peak at the game Ellie was sing a song. In my opinion, in those lyrics, she mentions that “ I can’t walk on the path of the right because I’m wrong” which means how she can feel satisfied ir live on with her life if she knew what she will do isn’t gonna make her be better Knowing her killing Abby wasn’t gonna removed the pain and trauma. And of course it not the same story as the first game because it a different protagonist, with different values,interests and personality. Which make total sense why she did kill Abby. Joel would kill her with no hesitation. Ellie has and always had different opinions, value and morals as Joel.    … Expand

Understand the message that the human being is selfish, dirty and rotten, death is ugly and cruel, TLOU2 reports a post-apocalyptic world as real as possible, UNDERSTAND THE TWO SIDES OF CURRENCY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Playing Abby was purposely made to make you feel uncomfortable, Abby is not a demon, there are no heroes in the real world, Abby was selfish and lost everything, friends, Alice; -; she is not a demon, you see!

    Una obra maestra. Es uno de los mejores juegos de la generación, junto con Red Dead Redemption 2 y The Witcher 3.
    El título es una exquisitez jugablemente, con un gameplay cuidado al extremo (excepto algunos errores puntuales de la IA), excelente diseño de niveles, que aprovecha como ningún otro la verticalidad de los diferentes escenarios, recompensando la exploración, con    Una obra maestra. Es uno de los mejores juegos de la generación, junto con Red Dead Redemption 2 y The Witcher 3.
    El título es una exquisitez jugablemente, con un gameplay cuidado al extremo (excepto algunos errores puntuales de la IA), excelente diseño de niveles, que aprovecha como ningún otro la verticalidad de los diferentes escenarios, recompensando la exploración, con coleccionables, recursos, notas y anotaciones. A lo largo de su historia se representan infinidad de escenarios muy diferentes entre sí, que le aporta frescura al juego a pesar de repetir bastante algunas situaciones, principalmente, zona con enemigos y uso de sigilo para limpiarla y avanzar. Así y todo, en ningún momento se me hizo repetitivo, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que se plantean también muchas situaciones novedosas, incluyendo escenas esriptadas que le aportan originalidad y ritmo al juego.
    El nivel gráfico es impresionante, al nivel de RDR2, con escenarios hermosamente detallados, el nivel de las animaciones es claramente de lo mejor que se haya visto jamás. Detalles en las expresiones faciales, o ver como nuestro personaje amartilla el arma al mantener el modo apuntado brevemente, son increíbles, pero también es ver la aglidad cuando van corriendo y se tira al piso, o cuando escala una soga o simplemente cuando rompe una ventana. También quiero destacar el nivel de inmersión, sobre todo en situaciones tensas que afrontamos principalmente en lugares cerrados y oscuros.
    En cuanto a la banda sonora, también es espectacular, el trabajo de Santaolalla se mantiene a un nivel altísimo durante todo el juego, un trabajo impecable.
    Por último voy a hablar sobre la historia, que quizás es el punto que más controversia ha generado. La historia del juego es adulta, es sombría y dura. Habrá gente a la que le gustará y gente a la que no, pero funciona, mantiene al jugador interesado hasta el final, es coherente y tiene un mensaje claro. Es admirable el riesgo que ha tomado Naughty Dog al elegir este camino, y lo hace de forma magistral, en el sentido de que recorremos el camino viviendo las dos caras de la moneda, y aunque no estemos de acuerdo con las desiciones que se van tomando, no es nuestra historia la que se cuenta, es la historia de sus protagonistas y en ese sentido nada se puede reclamar.
    Para concluir, solamente puedo decir que como juego, TLOU 2 es espectacular, una experiencia 100% recomendable para quien sea capaz de aceptar la historia que se cuenta, tal como se cuenta.

With a narrative focus on the ramifications surrounding blind revenge for the sake of someone you love, the themes featured throughout propel the actions of the playable characters to the brink. In terms of gameplay, there are massive improvements from the first game in the series. The HUD is more unified and the supplement system is made far more rewarding. The level design keeps one from being stuck for too long, even with the puzzles in the game. Audio and Visuals are once again the best on the console. They truly allow the player to be immersed within the world of the game.

    This game is not for everyone. It depends on the players ability to separate their agency from the playable characters, as well as asks for the player to be open to empathy towards every character within the game. For some, the actions of certain characters will prevent that from being possible. While I thought the game had a bit of pacing issues within the second half of the game, it didn’t detract from my overall experience. I consider this game a masterpiece which lives up to and exceeds the first game.    … Expand

This game is about emotion, not rationality. The world we live in operates on rationality. I think that's why a lot of people don't understand it, because you need compassion to get it. One of the biggest critiques is that people still don't like abby after hours of gameplay. You don't have to like her, you just have to understand how she lives and lived. It's you know, the grey zone. At the end of the day, opinions are opinions, so I try not to let anyone else’s dislike of the game get to me since no matter what I still have the personal enjoyment that I have felt playing this. I just hope the negative response doesn’t end up hurting the chances of a Part 3 lol. It really is a game, where if I had stopped playing in a moment when I'm VERY INTENDED to be feeling negative emotions - I would've missed out on the journey that the game is and would not have seen the big picture that ended up in me really digging it, to the point of also thinking about it for weeks. One of the best games I've played at least in the amount of how much it made me truly feel. The Last of Us 2 is a perfect sequel.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part 2 is just a **** masterpiece.

    People are straight out review bombing the game without reason. With one hour straight into the game you get hit by one of the most cruel deaths you can ever get. The game creates the feeling of hate towards Abby since hour one. As the game progresses you start to see how Ellie recklessly goes into a path of revenge, transitioning from the sweet innocent girl we were introduced in the game we all agree we love, TLOU. Ellie starts to become a savage and lose this humanity she was characterized of, but she doesn’t quite lose it, she is filled with regret, regret towards not being in good terms with Joel, regret of torturing someone else, killing someone who is pregnant, she is scared because she is actually alone. The moment Joel gets shot with that shotgun, Ellie loses absolutely everything. In game one after Ellie runs away, in a very emotional scene she transmits to Joel how she has lost everything and how the only person she has is him, and in fact it is true. Everyone who is trashing the game talks about the dysfunctional relationship between Ellie and Dina, and how it makes the story trash, this is on purpose, Ellie does not care about Dina, Jesse, Tommy, etc. All she cared for was Joel, and the game transmits that in a cruel yet beautiful way, the game makes you feel lost in anger next to Ellie.
    Then the gameplay, which we all must agree is way better than the first, since it is fast paced, scary, dark, gruesome and flexible. You literally can choose if you want to engage in a fight or just straight up skip it. The accessibility the graphics, everything gameplay wise is just gorgeous and distinct. Back to my point, when you start playing with Abby everyone wants to delete the application, and I get it, I did want that to. When I started to play with Abby I did not give a **** about her dad, I tried making her die multiple times to see if the game ended, etc. I was **** pissed. Ten hours after playing with Abby I was **** smiling, Abby portrays the female version of the story of Joel and Ellie, and how she moved on from revenge, she got what she wanted by killing Joel but at the same time she was as humane as it was possible in an apocalyptic world, Abby let Ellie and Tommy leave, her thing was with Joel and Joel only. The game shifts the character of evil to our loved character Ellie, she goes on a path of absurd and obscure torture just to hurt Abby. The game makes you hate yourself for putting yourself in the shoes of Abby, when Jesse dies and you fight with Ellie in the theater scene you don’t want them to fight, why? Because you don’t want to kill Ellie and that is obvious, at the end of the fight Ellie is **** trashed and Abby proves to be the bigger person by just leaving all of them there. I was scared when I saw the scene of the house, I said what the **** is this bull**** and when I see tommy I knew **** was going down, skipping all of this, you get to the big showdown, all cut up Ellie literally bleeding out, it all just feels empty, cruel, you tie down Abby and you blackmail her into fighting you by putting a knife to Lev’s throat which is the symbolic representation of Ellie in chapter one, the fight starts and man, the **** scenery, it looked like I was fighting in the octagon of hell, beating the **** out of each other, biting extremities, etc. While Ellie was drowning Abby while in tears I just didn’t want to keep pressing square, it felt wrong, Ellie was not Ellie anymore, and Abby ended up being any other character trying to survive and find justice by their own hands in the post apocalyptic world. As Ellie plays Days of you and me on the guitar with the missed strings my heart just broke, Ellie fulfilled her biggest fear we learn in game one while she talks with Sam, she was scared of ending up alone, and she was alone since hour one of the game, no one mattered except Joel, as we see the last flashback, we see how Ellie is not mad at Abby for killing her, she is mad with herself, for not forgiving Joel during his time alive, I hated this game, I hated myself and ended up hating Ellie, and that is what makes this game a masterpiece.

    (Btw, yes, **** SJW and the agenda, but somehow the game did not force it, kinda did not like how Lev was trans, but it does not damage at all the Beauty mixed with darkness The Last of Us is about).    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not a 10. But this game does not deserve the trash reviews it is getting. Half of these reviews make valid points but give scores that make no sense.

    Positives:
    -one of the most beautiful games on ps4
    -gorgeous environments and animations
    -the gore is great
    -fights are super fun and exhilarating -beautiful scenes and character moments throughout the game
    -very emotional game, some moments made me feel the same way i felt 1st watching the red wedding. I can say that only got and this game have ever affected me so much.

    Negatives :
    -the 1st game had a lot of sad moments and aspects however the beauty of joel and ellie's relationship made it all seem worth it. Last of us 2 is in need of some of these moments beacuse otherwise the game is just too sad and kinda broke me.
    -while some story moments aren't what i would've envisioned or liked to see for this game I can still respect them and make sense of them. Even if I dont like them doesn't make them wrong.

    Those that still hated abby at the end of the game really weren't paying attention. No one can say they didnt feel conflicted when playing as joel in the hospital during the 1st game. Playing as abby felt the same way. The entire time playing as her somehow made me somewhat care for all of the characters that were part of joel's death at the start of the game. By the end of it, i didnt want ellie to leave diana for revenge.

    Overall this game took over my life for a couple of days where i could only think about playing it. I dont know how such a game could ever be a 0/10 for anyone even with its faults    … Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
